Apple Cinnamon Muffins

I love to bake, and I most definitely have a sweet tooth. One of my favorite things to bake is muffins....chocolate chip muffins, blueberry muffins, and these apple cinnamon muffins are my favorites. As I have been working on my still life photography lately, I thought I would snap a few shots as I made this last batch and share them here on my blog. Scroll down for the recipe :-)

To make muffins, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and all-spice in a medium bowl until blended. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla until blended. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir just until evenly moistened. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Fold the apples into the batter and mix just until evenly distributed. Do over-do-it with the stirring.

To make topping, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons four and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. If desired, stir in the pecans or walnuts.

Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling it level with the rim. Sprinkle topping over the muffins.

Bake in preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Oh my goodness these sound and look delicious. I'm not much of a baker for the time involved, but used to make muffins with some regularity. I should try these.Your still life work is really beautiful. Love your use of light.

Linda, these sound absolutely wonderful, especially at this time of year. I actually bought some apple yesterday for a pie, but they will become muffins! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe here, and for sharing it with at The Creative Exchange today.

Your photographs here are absolutely wonderful. I cannot do food photographs if my life depended on it, so I am so in awe of these! :-)

Hi,
Thank you so much for visiting my site! My name is Linda and I live with my husband in Texas. I have 3 boys and 2 dogs.
I am a self-taught photographer with a particular love of nature photography and artistic flower images. I am just starting to explore the world of still-life photography. I have sooooo much to learn yet! I enjoy editing some of my work using textures I use from several different sources, and I have started creating some of my own which I hope to share on this site.
Another love of mine is baking. Occasionally I will share some of my yummy recipes here.
